Hamilton reiidenfc who has lately been riaitiae Port Waikito for his health, and has been charmed with the scenery, the accommodation and the landlord's daughter, " who, '15 or 16 yoardofngeadds life and lorline« to the surrounding beauties of nature," writes to the " Herald adrocitiug that settlemenp as a waterpiace. Ho says : — " My visit is one to be mettoi on the memory while life lasts, and ever and anon gws rise to the 'most charming renollections. Why is not this taost delightful spot, foy both' bold and expansiye sea views and inland scenery, with so many "Suitable conveniences, taken up and made into a lovely watering plaoe ? It; possesses so miny suitabfe advantageß. By rail and steamer It can be most conTeniently reached from Auckland in fire or six hours from all parts of tho Waikato in four or Cve hours, and therefore all necessary comforts oan most readily be obtained. AU it requires i 9i 9 a few thousand pounds laid out upon it. a good comuiodious hotel erected in a suitable spot, a few mexpensiro cottages erooted, baths or Uthing machines, and an en^rprisiag and energetic manager of the whole affair, ana I »m sure it would be largely 'patronised. ,TjVe have Jffot Springs of Waiwera, but' many like to "enjoy an open sea TJew and here they hdTe it. 1 .can «cc in this place the ground-work of a superb watering plaoe, and I bsliere, if properly taken up and managed, a very profitable one."
